I called (that's right i used a telephone. Thats how much i want to see this film!)the theater WWDITS is supposed to be playing because they havent listed dates and times online yet. They said they post times on Monday. Ugh, the suspense!

Though it's one of the few specialty titles out there without Oscar nominations tied to it, Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi's "What We Do In The Shadows" had a very nice weekend anyway. Distributed by Unison Films in association with Paladin, the film went from 2 to 16 theaters in its second weekend and jumped 116%, grossing $142,000 for a $8,875 per-theater-average. Its total now stands at $236,000 a week before rolling out to the top 25 markets.

I think the Funny or Die video is a good introduction to WWDITS. If your son didn't enjoy it then perhaps the film isn't for him but it would be nice if he did actually end up enjoying the film. If he's going to see WWDITS, let us know what he thinks!

WWDITS had another strong weekend in the US and looks likely to gross more than $1 million

"What We Do in the Shadows" (Unison/Paladin) Week 3 $262,890 in 46 theaters (+30); Cumulative: $537,000

This New Zealand vampire rom-com continues to expand, and expand well. With nearly three times as many theaters this continues with a decent ($5,000+) PSA and looks headed for an unexpected gross considerably over $1 million. 35 new markets come on board this week.

Finally, one of the few specialty holdovers titles out there without Oscar tied to it -- Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi's "What We Do In The Shadows" -- had a very nice third weekend. Distributed by Unison Films in association with Paladin, the film went from 16 to 46 theaters in its second weekend and jumped 105%, grossing $263,000 for a $5,717 per-theater-average. Its total now stands at $537,000 and it looks like it's becoming one of 2015's few indie breakouts so far.

I managed to see the movie last week. It had already been open for two weeks so I was surprised to see a few dozen people in the theatre on a Friday evening. The crowd, which seemed to be quite varied in ages, were really into it.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It was fresher than I'd anticipated and the story held quit a few unexpected twists and turns. I hate to say it but my favourite vamp was Deacon, but they were all really good (hubby felt that J was under-utilized ).

I'm so glad they were able to release the movie in so many cities and I hope it continues to get the recognition it deserves!

I totally agree. That was my first comment when the film ended. Viagio (Taika) was adorable so I get the appeal. Deacon (Jonny) was cocky so that's fun. But Vlad (Jemaine) was super sexy. Hope there's more Jemaine in the extras!
